That appears to work, but I note that it's undocumented and seems to be used internally only by the deprecated load_module function. I expect it will likely be removed in Python 3.5. > Modifying sys.path is only necessary because the file could further import > modules from the same path. This won't work if the imported file is part of a package and attempts to import another module in the same package (unless it uses the old relative import syntax, which was removed in Python 3). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
